The obligatory random early-morning post

Iowa is behind us. Goodbye to John Wayne's birthplace, Herbert Hoover museums and Iowa Western Community College. Hello, Nebraska, home of Air Force One. We toured his lovely home at 3 a.m. on Thursday morning, and he apparently has very good taste in reading, with books that include When Pride Still Mattered, Moneyball and some book that says "Boyd" in huge letters on the side.

We'll be starting on our third driver now that we've arrived in Omaha, and with Fast Times at the wheel, we'll begin the long drive through Nebraska. Some have been able to sleep, which is delightful, though your faithful author is not one of them. And what's with the roadside gas stations of America's heartland lacking in motion sickness medication?

We have Air Force One in our possession. America, and most importantly the RV, is safe.
